According to ，a speeding, drunken motorist who hit and killed Chinese mum and daughter has been jailed for 13 years.
Thomas Charles Adamson argued separately with his girlfriend and parents after spent hours drinking beer on August 9 last year. He then got into a Holden Commodore, and sped along the South Gippsland Highway.
About 7.20pm he crashed into a car driven by Ma Li Da, who was leaving a parent-teacher night at Lighthouse Christian College in Cranbourne with her 14-year-old daughter, Xinyu Yuan, and killed them both.
Experts believe Adamson was driving between 155km/h and 165km/h before he hit the brakes – the highway was a 100km/h zone at the time – and had a blood alcohol reading of between 0.120 and 0.165, at least twice the legal limit.
County Court judge Trevor Wraight on Thursday jailed Adamson, who had earlier pleaded guilty to two charges of culpable driving causing death and one of driving while disqualified, to 13 years.
Adamson, a 27-year-old former ice user who has prior convictions for drink-driving and speeding and was unlicensed at the time of the fatal crash through the accumulation of demerit points, must serve nine years before he is eligible for parole.
